And that word I did not invent, I only entered into the dictionary. It was already on the Lojban wiki, along with {didni}, {nusna}, {sicpi}, {gumri}, and several others. The ones I invented are mostly chemical terms, such as {benzo} and {zmase}, which are either common enough concepts or used in enough compounds that I think there ought to be gismu for them. > Since it's the only dictionary we really have outside the disparate > wordlists, and it is not yet standardised anyway, your rejection is > premature.

Jay's involved in it, for heaven's sake. This includes adding a note to lujvo and type-3 fu'ivla made from experimental gismu (which jbovlaste does not note as such) saying that they are experimental. I'm going to enter some now as examples. phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
